Brownlie explains, “I feel very grateful to have found a group that really gets impact investing. We’re all so excited to be working with a Broker Dealer whose values are fully aligned, not just with our own, but with our clients’ values as well!” He continues, “The responsiveness from the Vanderbilt staff has been excellent — from the operations and marketing support, to their technology platform, they’ve really made our job easier.”

“We’re so grateful that Hunter’s team chose Vanderbilt; our passions for being impactful with the money our clients invest are perfectly aligned. I am humbled that a team of veteran Impact focused advisors found us, did their due diligence and believe in our mission to be the most Impactful BD and RIA in our industry,” says Vanderbilt CEO and Chief Disruption Officer, Steve Distante, “It all started with a mission to teach people about Impact Investing, through our online university, www.ImpactU.me; now we have likeminded advisors joining our firm, we couldn’t be happier!”
